'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share There's a lone Androni rider on the front as well. Savio will be pleased. As Boonen grabs a drink and relaxes on the bars but back near the rear of the field riders are sprinting to stay in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share And they've hit it. Trek, Garmin, Androni all have men on the front as Omega drift back slightly and save their strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share The pace isn't high so once Boonen made sure he was out of trouble he took his men off the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share They're back on the front again though and the pace is lifted straight away. Puccio has a flat and he'll have to wait for the Team Sky car to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share Already a few riders are being distanced at the back of the bunch as the peloton swing left and back onto the flat, straight roads. The Paterberg is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share Sky though are moving up towards the front of the field. They'll have Knaven in the car and he knows these climbs as good as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share Impey had to stop for a mechanical as well but he's back with the break now. Breschel is calling for the team car. It looks like he's snapped his chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 6, 2014 Share Omega are driving the field but FDJ are also near the front, perhaps working for Demare today. Can the Frenchman handle the distance and the climbs today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
